Papua New Guinea
50 years ago, the Territory of Papua New Guinea was granted self-government by Australia. This was a prelude to getting full independence two years later.
Port Moresby (in local pidgin, Pot Mosbi) is the capital of Papua New Guinea, and we have, very conveniently, a CC map of it.
Papua New Guinea is one of the most linguistically diverse places on earth. There are 852 distinct languages, with an average of only 7000 speakers per language. Some of these languages are limited to a single island village, and many of these villages have been essentially isolated for hundreds of years, some for thousands. Tok Pisin, an English-derived pidgin, serves as the common trade language of most people. Ironically, it is spoken by few people in the capital, where another pidgin, Hin Motu, is dominant.
The country is also geographically diverse, with everything from snow-capped mountains in the interior to tropical rain forest in the coastal areas. It is largely wild, a huge reserve of biodiversity. It's believed there are numerous plant and animal species yet to be discovered there.
